The group debuted with an EP The Concrete's Always Grayer on the Other Side of the Street in 2004 on Vice Records, followed by a self-titled full-length released in 2007 on Kemado Records.

Ivan Sunshine debuted his new band, Hidden Fees with a 12" called Sale Away which featured vocals by Light Asylum's Shannon Funchess in early 2011.
3. From Southeast Performer Magazine: Vietnam started out in Atlanta in 1980, at a time when smaller, neighboring city Athens was the music city of that decade. Bands such as R.E.M., The B-52s, Pylon and Love Tractor were tearing up the clubs and getting much love from college radio. Vietnam played the same clubs and got a lot of the same type of praise that was bestowed upon the aforementioned acts, but they never cut an album. Jump ahead 25 years, and we finally have the band’s debut release Past Away. Read more on Last.fm.
